Kevin Durant is "100% undecided" on where he'll play next season, his manager and media business partner says.
Rich Kleiman, Durant's closest confidant, made that declaration Tuesday at the Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything Festival, the New York Post reported.
"He really doesn't know, and I don't know," Kleiman said.
Durant, who is widely expected to bolt from the Golden State Warriors this summer, has been repeatedly linked to the Knicks in reports for months. New York has the cap space needed to sign two max-level free agents -- Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving is mentioned most as the other star who could join Durant at Madison Square Garden.
But The New York Times' Marc Stein reported in his email newsletter that the Los Angeles Clippers have emerged as a "dangerous threat" to sign Durant. But Stein noted that trusted insiders have also said Durant is already planning to join the Knicks and also said he'll consider the Nets.
Kleiman, of course, could be holding back so he doesn't stir any controversy while the Warriors chase another title and doesn't get himself into trouble with the NBA.
But author Marcus Thompson II, who spent a lot of time with Durant while writing the new biography "KD: Kevin Durant's Relentless Pursuit to be the Greatest," told WFAN's "Benigno and Roberts" last week that he, too, doesn't think Durant knows what his future holds. Thompson didn't rule out a return to the Warriors, but said the Knicks are firmly in play.
"There are definitely plans in place for that (the Knicks) to be a major option," he said. "The Knicks might have to blow it in order for it to not happen. But in the end, I do think it will be hard to walk away from what he has."
The Warriors are in the NBA Finals for the fifth straight season, but Durant's status for the series is unclear after he missed the Western Conference final with a calf injury.
